The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 10.2
“I want the one with the ditch here.”
If you know the type of sole that makes your shoes less slippery, then you should also realize the absurdity of your knowledge. And if you want to act like a normal kid, don’t hide it in such a sloppy way in front of me.
Are you being careless, or do you think it’s okay if I find out ? Either way, it’s for Diadora’s sake, so I’ll follow through.
“It’s not the shoe soles fault, it’s because Diadora’s face is so big that it makes you fall.”
“Huh ?!”
“Alan, saying a girl has a big face is not good. She’s a child, so her head is just big.”
“Huhhh ?!”
Huh ? This is not good either ?
Girls are so difficult.
Shortly before Diadora turned four years old, a major turning point occurred. I knew it would come eventually, but it came sooner than I expected. The cause is spirits. Diadora’s spirit was larger than everyone else’s, so I asked her if she knew why.
“I’m giving them magical power.”
Anyone knows that magical power is the food for spirits. Even when you use magic, exercise, or just live your life, magical power is emitted, and the spirits feed off of it.
“This is how I give it to them.”
After saying that, Diadora began to gathered magical power in her palm.
“You can eat it.”
As the fluffy ball of blue and red light approaches Diadora’s palm, her magical power quickly disappears.
“You’ve given them your magical power on your own, not the magical power you’re emitted ?”
I imitated her and gathered some magical power in my palm and told the spirit that it could eat it. Then, the spirit jumped onto the magical power with incredible speed and devoured it in no time.
Perhaps it was hungry. I feel incredibly sorry for leaving it alone all these years despite being together. The spirit clung to me as if asking for more. It was the first time my spirit had moved like this.
“You thought it acknowledged your existence because you gave it food, didn’t you?”
Still, a four-year-old who talks like an adult when they let their guard down. This is not good. Moreover, right after that, Alan’s sword spirit that was invisible to everyone, was visible accidentally while providing it with magical power.
There isn’t much time left. The fact that the princes don’t have spirits is a significant issue at the court. With her spirit’s size and the relationship between magical power and spirits, she will undoubtedly attract attention. Even without all that, her cuteness alone would make her the center of attention.
That’s why, I wanted to let her know that there was no need to hide anymore, and I asked Brad to deliver the message. But it seems that was the wrong decision.
“Recently, Dia has been sneaking around with the butlers more than with us.”
She’s being so cautious around me that even Alan noticed it.
“I told her not to force herself to act like a four-year-old, and she became cautious”
“Why ? Wasn’t it obvious ?”
“She probably thought she was doing well. But… even if it’s known, I wonder what’s so bad about it.”
“Perhaps because Brother is feared by the servants, maybe one of the butlers said something to her?”
I did send several of them away. They might see me as a pretentious kid who casually fires people from jobs where their lives and livelihood depend on it.
Still, I don’t need those who only do the bare minimum of what’s asked of them. I will eventually inherit the title. I can’t afford to keep anyone around me who might drag me down.
“I thought Rex and Brad were excellent guys, so I believed they would understand.”
“Both of them are only thinking about protecting Dia. Brother should only care about being sweet to her.”
“Who was it that could think of so many things, but was unable to obtain the Sword Spirit and sulked, even avoiding Dia ?”
“I-I’m not sulking, okay!”
Despite growing to the point where you might surpass me in physique and even height, you’re still a child in those aspects.
“My butler’s evaluation of me is probably ‘calculating,’ ‘scheming,’ and ‘relentless,’ right?”
“What’s the point of inheriting the title ? Brother, your attitude towards those you like and those you don’t is way too different!”
“Even my beloved younger sister is wary of me.”
“Why is she so wary of you… I wonder what the reason is.”
“Ah.”
With her exceptional abilities, she would have no trouble handling the role of a female margrave.
“Huh? Do you think she’s considering something like that?”
“If that’s the case, I can just pass it on to her.”
“What are you talking about so easily?!”
“It’s not like she needs to inherit the title from our parents. There are plenty of jobs in the palace for her. It would be good for her to aim for the position of prime minister, or oh, foreign minister would be nice too.”
“Wait a minute! Let’s talk to Dia first. We’ve misunderstood each other.”
“I do think it’s necessary to talk.”
She probably doesn’t understand her position yet. She’s already the center of attention for all the nobles in the country.
The other day, my father was convinced that she has excellent perspective and creativity, but if she continues to go her own way, I won’t be able to follow her.
“Are you trying to keep it hidden from Father?”
“If they find out how good Dia is, I think they’ll talk about marrying one of the princes.”
“But Dia wouldn’t like that.”
Probably only Alan and I think she wouldn’t like it. Our parents are busy, so they haven’t spent as much time with Dia as Alan and I have. They only see her as a naughty little girl.
Marrying a prince and eventually becoming an empress is usually a dream for a high-ranking noblewoman, so she probably thinks so too. But in the palace, where traditions must be upheld, there’s no way Dia can live true to herself.
“There’s one more thing that bothers me.”
Alan’s tone of voice changed.
“I heard there are several stories in the library about the Spirit King taking princesses to his kingdom.”
No way. Will the Spirit King take Dia away ? !
“Let’s talk to Dia.”
“Um.”
It seems that the situation is changing more rapidly than I expected. If I make a mistake here, Dia might truly consider me as her enemy.
